Spoke to International Motors today, who told me where I am in the queue - No 60 something.

They are still waiting for a component so none have yet been shipped - he estimated end of October or early November for me. This is however dependant upon dealers returning the ECUs from the early fittings so they can be reprogrammed for the later fittings

MM

Did your dealer commit to which Jan/Feb or are you under the impression it is next year?

Mine was ordered in March and has been arriving "next month" ever since. Btw, not criticising dealers. they are just being told what customers want to here without letting fact get in the way!

Every one who bought one soon realised that the only cure for the cr4p performance was PPP so see it soon Tony

This is the killer, people have known about it for months but the official list of what it actually involves is still rather unknown.

It might be an ECU replacement, some form of improved boost control, and some parts of an exhaust, but we'll only know when it's finally announced officially

No 60 something
number 9 on the list
I don't see how anyone can know where they are on the list when the kit is being supplied and fitted by the dealers (i.e. you're not dealing direct with Prodrive).

Presumably, Prodrive have no idea about the list either as I would imagine that IM are running "the list" (if there is in fact such a thing).

Dealers put the order in with IM (AFAIK) so it would follow that IM know what is going on.

I'm going to wait now , as I have heard Scoobysport have an ECU upgrade on the horizon.
Car has the Scoobysport exhaust on it anyway, so will save some pennies.

Spoke to Prodrive yesterday,

details should be official either this week or next. Was quoted 305bhp and 300ft/lbs....

My thoughts are (apart from the warranty) the Milltek exhaust gives +30bhp, full boost 1k lower etc etc for £795 +vat which makes the other 15 bhp expensive at just over a grand (ppp - £950).

Anybody have any thought on this?

AndyS44,

Thats what I have been chewing over, so I wrote a letter to International Motors (Subaru UK) to ask if the warranty will be effected, I await there reply.

As I have TSL De-cat and Group N Rear Box I only need Miltech Sports Cat @ £495.00, for 30BHP more thats fine with me!

Nuptie,

I nearly said that myself but I thought I'd give the honour to someone else

Dave,

I believe that Prodrive's list is a lot shorter than IM's

i presumed they meant jan/feb next year, not the year after.
ive had the same thoughts about the milltek exhaust, 301 bhp for 2 grand or 295 bhp for less than half that, if the prodrive ecu turns out to be an exchange item it makes it very expensive for a similar exhaust , superchip and intercooler hose !

Thumbs down

Mark,
Litchfields Xhorst looks and does the buisness but if you are on the UK car route then PPP is the only safe and warrenty'd way. IMHO

My dealer said that the ECU is Service Exchange and the old ones to be reprogrammed. If dealers delay returning them it will hold things up. Dealers may be charged £1K for missing delayed lost ECU's. IMHO

ECU is indeed on an exchange basis as per the WRX one, and there is a £1,000 surcharge to dealers for non return.
